Having express busses to major events from Davies back and forth is almost essential, why don’t we provide express busses to massive parking lots when Commonwealth doesn’t even have that option? Pushing everyone onto that station arriving from K-Days is a joke and having to connect lines!?

#yegTransit review today:
Buses and LRT on time, all ARC scanners working.
At Central Station there were 6 peace officers at the platform plus 3 reflective-vest security at pedway level.
Snow clearing at South Campus transit centre is flawless, bare pavement! 👍🏼

Have you tried the new bike racks on ETS busses? The old racks can't take bikes with tires wider than 2.35" but it looks like these ones can accommodate a wider tire. #yegbike #takeETS #yegTransit

I support Peace Officers and Police in our system, but they can be unreasonably difficult when dealing with the public’s common questions and concerns. Edmonton Police and the City of Edmonton should really have a conversation before dispatching officers to be stationed at Churchill.
